ABSTRACT
During cell fate transitions, cells remodel their transcriptome, chromatin, and epigenome; however, it has been difficult to determine the temporal dynamics and cause-effect relationship between these changes at the single-cell level. Here, we employ the heterokaryon-mediated reprogramming system as a single-cell model to dissect key temporal events during early stages of pluripotency conversion using super-resolution imaging. We reveal that, following heterokaryon formation, the somatic nucleus undergoes global chromatin decompaction and removal of repressive histone modifications H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 without acquisition of active modifications H3K4me3 and H3K9ac. The pluripotency gene OCT4 (POU5F1) shows nascent and mature RNA transcription within the first 24 h after cell fusion without requiring an initial open chromatin configuration at its locus. NANOG, conversely, has significant nascent RNA transcription only at 48 h after cell fusion but, strikingly, exhibits genomic reopening early on. These findings suggest that the temporal relationship between chromatin compaction and gene activation during cellular reprogramming is gene context dependent.
